I have tried searching for steps to modifying the media manager to allow for uploading of flv, mp4, mpg, and mov files to my website. None of the global changes I have made seem to help. Can someone please walk me through it? Sorry for being a noob, but I am here to make y'all look good is all
So, what permissions need to be on my configuration.php?
I only have access to my .htaccess file, no php.ini for server, but my php shows 20m upload allowed which is more than enough right now.
What do i need to put in the global configuration?

Originally upon uploading video files it moaned about them not being acceptable file types, so...

In the Global Config > system > Media Settings
I have added flv, m4a and m4v in the correct alphabetical order in the list of legal extensions.

When I then uploaded my m4a video file, it asked me to check my file size.
My file is only 5MB (the default limit is 10). I went back to global config and set the maximum size to 0 (therefore unlimited) and tried to upload again. It still moaned about the file size.

For uploading videos,you need to add all those extensions in Alpha Order only via Global Configuration>>Media manager Settings..

And if you are getting Upload Size Error,then check your php.ini in the root or your php configuration of your server or with the host...
Its generally 2-5 MB.
If you want to increase,then increase it...
Thanks...
Hope,it helped.

Although it seems silly to me, I've just alphabetized my 'Legal Extensions'. However, still no luck uploading even a simple jpg file.
With the jpeg, it tells me that the media type is unsupported (as mentioned, it's a jpeg), and with an audio file it tells me to check the filesize. I've increased the filesize in the config to a zillion bytes (well, exaggerating a bit, it's only 100 000 000) and the size of the audio file is a mere 3.5 million. I've also deactivated 'check mime types'.

Belay that last comment - it stopped working. I was uploading an older flv that was made about 6months ago, and it just won't go up. Is the right size, and everything. So doesn't work consistently. Which in my book means it don't work. It seems that in a media driven web, we should be able to use the best CMS to upload media. Can anyone direct me to a page or site that has something for idiots like myself to accomplish this?
